Vw Transporter Rear View Mirror Camera

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

This is my second dash camera from Garmin. I use it for a rear view. The size is phenomenal. It doesn't attract attention. Very good software. Voice commands are very well designed and functional. It syncs with the front camera and works very well with the parking cable. The image quality is pretty good.. Higher resolution would require a lot more disk space.

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

This works well as a head strap but it also works if you want to use it to wrap around something that may be easily scratched. This could mean the side view mirror of a car or maybe just to wrap around your pet. Over all, this product is one to have handy.

This rear cam is small enough to not interfere with your view out your back window. The picture quality is great!!!

I've had this camcorder for approx. 4 weeks and have tested it under day and night shooting with and without additional light sources (white and IR lights). I also own a Panasonic HC-W850K which is a few models earlier and thankfully this one has performed even better to that excellent one. I've found this camcorder to be very well built, quick to focus (mostly), light weight with well laid out controls. It's a prosumer camcorder, don't compare it with professional ones; that said when compared to other prosumer camcorders it more than holds it's own. I say Prosumer based on the Leica lens; Leica lens are held to a high, repeatable standard so images\videos are identical quality between same models cameras. IR night shooting is exceptional when you add an IR light source. The built in IR light is ok but limited; for serious night shooting you need to add additional IR sources, but this is a standard requirement for real night shooting. 4K file sizes are large so you'll need at least a 128Gb SD card with fast write (and read) capabilities, I recommend the SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB UHS-I/U3 SDXC (SDSDXPA-128G-G46) at a minimum with this camera based on speed and capacity vs cost. Day shooting is excellent as well, colors are vivid, zoom and focus is fairly quick. MIC is adequate though not excellent; I recommend adding an external MIC with appropriate windscreen for the best audio pickup. Battery life with the one that comes with it is a little weak, adding an Panasonic VW-VBT380 is really a must if your filming outside or away from a power source. I do a lot of inside filming and have the camera plugged in a lot so battery life hasn't been a main concern for me. If you don't get a VW-VBT380 then at least pick up the Panasonic bag, VW-VBT180 battery and charger bundle, that way you can charge a battery while using the other one. Otherwise you have the battery that came with the camcorder which can only be charged on the camera while it's plugged i

I needed a backup camera for a older VW so with the newer GPS system this has a great wide angle shot for the user. Batteries last 2 months and yes it can be stolen pretty easy so just know your limits of safety for this device.

I'vw been using a E-420 and enjoyed that model and Ifelt like upgrading especially for the swivel lcd. I .also like the compactness of the camera.

I have always been a fan of a blacked out rear so the Trij HD's have been my go to. The new HD XR's do the same thing with the added benefit of a better view of your intended target. B&H had the best price with quick shipping. Have continually been pleased with their service and pricing!

We rarely use the rear LCD and use the view finder most of the time. This makes viewing it much easier in bright sunlight and just snaps on to the camera. It will get in the way of your rear LCD. Works with our Sony A77 II. ~photosbymeta
